<p>Maximum fun in one action-packed day! In the morning, run the Racecourse section of the legendary Rio Grande, with its many Class 3 rapids (Class 4 in high water; see <a href="http://losriosriverrunners.com/racecourse">Racecourse</a> page for further details). Then choose to go riding at the famous Taos Indian Horse Ranch, on the Taos Pueblo reservation; or in the alpine terrain of Taos Ski Valley; or along the secluded trails in the shelter of the Rio Grande Gorge.
